Astrocytes (green) in the context of neurons (red) in a mouse cortex cell culture 23-week-old fetal brain culture human astrocyte Astrocytes (red-yellow) among neurons (green) in the living cerebral cortex. Astrocytes are a sub-type of glial cells in the central nervous system. They are also known as astrocytic glial cells.
Alexei Koulakov is a theoretical physicist and a neuroscientist.He is the Charles Robertson Professor of Neuroscience at the Cold Spring Harbor Laboratory. [1]Koulakov's group has used mathematics and theoretical physics to explore the brain, with focus on neural computation, brain development, and the evolution of brain architecture for optimal function.
Evidence for the role of astrocytes in the integration and processing of synaptic integration presents itself in a number of ways: Astrocytes are excitable cells: In response to stimuli from any of the three components of the tripartite synapse, astrocytes are capable of producing transient changes in their intracellular calcium concentrations through release of calcium stores from the ...
Philip Beesley's Astrocyte aims to show that architecture can be more than just ornamental. Built from acrylic, mylar, sensors, custom glasswork, 3D-printed lights and using AI, chemistry and a ...
the cognitive architecture, developed under Ron Sun at Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute and University of Missouri. CMAC: The Cerebellar Model Articulation Controller (CMAC) is a type of neural network based on a model of the mammalian cerebellum. It is a type of associative memory. [11]
One model of the tripartite synapse shows the presynaptic and postsynaptic terminals lying adjacent to each other, which the astrocyte is wrapped around the postsynaptic terminal. [1] However, localization and spatial distribution of the three elements of the tripartite synapse vary in different regions of the brain.
David Holcman is an applied mathematician, biophysicist and computational biologist at École Normale Supérieure in Paris. He is known for his work on the narrow escape problem, based on analysis of the Laplace equation, [1] [2] the redundancy principle in biology based on extreme statistics, [3] [4] [5] the modeling of molecular trafficking in neurobiology, of diffusion and electrodiffusion ...
Rodents, mice and rats, have been the most prominent model organism since the discovery of modern neurons by Santiago Ramon y Cajal. Rodents have a very similar architecture and a complex nervous system with very little regenerative capacity similar to that found in humans. For that reason, rodents have been heavily used in pre-clinical testing.
